(a) may become subject to increased income tax liabilities for the year in respect of which the excess renunciation was made; and

(b) may be required to file appropriate amendments to the Purchaser’s income tax return for that and other years.

3.13 If, before the Issuer renounces the full amount of Qualified Expenditures to the Purchaser in accordance with sections of this Agreement, the Issuer amalgamates or otherwise merges with one or more companies, any shares issued to or held by the Purchaser as a replacement of the Shares as a result of such amalgamation or merger, will qualify, whether by virtue of subsection 87(4.4) of the Income tax Act or otherwise, as “flow-through shares” as described in subsection 66(15) of the Income tax Act and in particular will not be prescribed shares as defined in section 6202.1 of the regulations to the Income Tax Act.

all expenditures renounced by the Issuer to the Purchaser pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will be Qualified Expenditures;

(g)

where an amount that the Issuer has purported to renounce to the Purchaser effective December 31 of the Base Year pursuant to section 3.11 or 3.12 exceeds the amount that it can renounce on that effective date because it did not actually incur Qualified Expenditures within the required period of time, and at the end of the year following the Base Year the Issuer knew or ought to have known of all or a part of such excess renunciation, the Issuer will file a statement in prescribed form before March of the second year following the Base Year, all as required by subsection 66(12.73) of the Income Tax Act;

the Issuer is and will at all material times remain a “principal-business corporation” as that expression is defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act;
